Overview
The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) offers a 12-month ACGME-accredited Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain Medicine Fellowship designed to prepare anesthesiologists to become experts and consultants in perioperative pain management.
Our fellowship provides comprehensive training in the cognitive, technical, and clinical aspects of regional anesthesia, enabling fellows to safely and effectively deliver advanced regional anesthetic techniques and acute pain management across a wide variety of surgical specialties.
